Werner Amigo STR

Product detailed description

Werner Amigo - key features

Werner Amigo is a paddle designed specifically for young riders, smaller adults and anyone who needs an efficient stroke with minimal load. With smaller blades and a subtler blade, the Amigo allows for a higher cadence of shots without overloading the shoulders and wrists. It offers exceptional maneuverability and comfort even when paddling all day.

Sheet design and shot characteristics

Paddle leavesAmigo have a forward shape for an instant engagement, ideal for riders with lower upper limb strength. The dihedral blade design helps smooth and stable traction, with no wobble or flutter. The smaller blade area (605 cm²) makes the Amigo an excellent choice for longer trips and lessons.

Construction and materials

Werner Amigo is made of durable yet comfortable materials that are especially appreciated by lighter riders:

• Fibreglass-reinforced nylon sheets - Exceptional impact and abrasion resistance
• Straight fibreglass core - with the ideal level of flexibility for smaller riders
• Small Shaft - smaller diameter for comfortable grip for smaller hands

The paddle is supplied in a customized length (range 150-230 cm) in a one-piece design without an adjustable joint.

Variants and customisation

Amigo is available in a specification optimised for small hands and lower rider height:

• Diameter of the mast - Small Shaft only
• Lengths - from 150 cm to 230 cm, in 1 cm increments
• Alignment - fixed: right, left or straight (0°), adjustable on order
• Dividing - One Piece Only (1 Piece)

If you need a two-piece version, we recommend the alternative from the Werner touring series or the modelSherpa Small Shaft in a 2-piece variant.
